Music composer Patrick Doyle
, who is currently working on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comments on being lucky to be chosen to score the movie, the amount of work it has been, his favorite scores and his battle with leukemia.
Doyle on working on the score:
You have to be at the top of your game all the time to keep on top of it. I read the script before they started shooting. My involvement has gone on for a year, and I've written zillions of themes for it. People who have read the book will know that it is very dense in terms of its storyline, and all of the imagery is very big.
Doyle has previously worked with director Mike Newell on Donnie Brasco and Into the West and will start work on Eragon next year.

I hope that Patrick Doyle will keep the Harry Potter Theme. I get excited, at the beginning of each film, when the simple chimey theme begins to play. It would be like seeing star wars without the fanfare and the scrolling preface. Please keep it Doyle.

I wonder if the music we heard in the international trailer has a bit of Doyle's influence. It's kind of neat. I like it and think it's promising.

The music that has been done in the international trailer is so amazing, I hope the music in the movie is the same.

I hope we get some awesome new themes in GoF! Not that I don't like the old ones, of course, it's just that I think: the more, the better! I can't wait!! (for the movie or the soundtrack)

From what I've heard so far, I think that he did a great job. They must have picked him for a reason.

I'm not very familiar with most of Patrick Doyle's work (with the exception being "A Little Princess" which I absolutely loved), but I'm sure he will do an excellent job. I can't wait to hear his score.

I think the soundtrack will be really awesome. We've already heard some of them in the teaser trailer. I can't wait to listen to the other themes Mr. Doyle has made!

Hmmm. I liked John Williams, the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack is my fave, I bought it! I hope Patrick Doyle keeps Hedwig's Theme, though. It'll be nice to have a change, but I'm worried...if the music is too different, the feel of the film won't be the same...!

I'm sure this guy is a wonderful composer, or they would not have chosen him. There are many, many film composers.
I wonder if he will keep a few of John Williams' main themes...since you hear some of them in all of the movies, such as Hedwig's theme?

I hope they continue to use the original theme as well. I have not been disappointed in a Harry Potter movie yet. I am sure the music will be awesome!

John Williams leaving was a blow, but Patrick Doyle sounds more than capable of being able to pull off the feat of composing the music for GoF. He seems really to have an understanding of the complexity of GoF. I'm sorry about his leukemia, though, and wish him the best.

Eragon!!! I love that book. And I hope that the music will be great. After all the music is what plays with the audiences emotions.
